During this 8-week course join roots musician Davey Harrison as we focus on the fundamentals of old-time clawhammer banjo. The class curriculum will initially tackle the challenges of the basic clawhammer technique. As we become more comfortable with the fundamentals of the style, we\u2019ll expand to cover additional topics such as \u201cdrop thumb,\u201d the rhythmic function of the banjo in old-time music, and learn instrumental and vocal repertoire.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Pre-requisites: This class is appropriate for total beginners on the banjo, as well as those who have dabbled in the past but want a refresher on the fundamentals.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Materials: Each student will need a 5-string banjo for the duration of the class. All other materials will be provided.<\/div>
